Brockport found their offensive touch early in the first half as the Golden Eagles jumped out to a quick 11-2 lead. Brockport never lost control of the lead for the first 15 minutes of the half. Morrisville battled back as the two teams exchanged leads five times and were tied once in the final two minutes. Morrisville went into intermission with a one point lead, 41-40. The Golden Eagles shot a season-best 58.6 percent from the floor in the first half.

The two teams fought for control in the beginning stages of the second half, exchanging the lead five times. Two free throw shots at the 10:31 mark by Grinnell gave Brockport a lead for good. The Golden Eagles built their largest lead of the night to 12 at the 3:07 mark. Brockport sank their free-throws down the stretch, sinking eight of 11 from the charity stripe in the final three minutes.

The key difference in the game was the defense in the second half. Morrisville shot 54.8 percent from the field in the first half, but shot only 21.1 percent in the second half. The Golden Eagles allowed only one three-pointer on 16 attempts throughout the entire game.

 Head coach Nicole Beauregard credited the team with making the switch after halftime. “We made them play half-court offense” said Beauregard. “The team did the little things to win and stuck to everything we've been working on all season.” Beauregard applauded the play of freshman guard Taylor Cain (Walworth, NY/Wayne) as well. “Taylor Cain came in and gave us some great minutes off the bench on defense.” Cain played a career-high 24 minutes in the victory.
